夸克平均场模型研究有限核及超核

采用组分夸克模型描述重子,首先由自由核子及超子的性质定出模型参数,进一步考虑核介质中重子性质的变化,核介质中的介子平均场直接与重子内部的组分夸克相互作用.夸克平均场模型已被用于研究有限核及超核的性质,能够给出令人满意的有限核及超核的性质,该模型也预言了核介质中核子体积的膨胀及核子有效质量的降低. The quark mean field model, which describes the baryon by using the constituent quark model, is applied to study the properties of finite nuclei and hypernuclei. The meson mean fields couple directly with the quarks and change the properties of baryons in nuclear medium. The quark mean field model provides satisfactory results on the properties of spherical nuclei and hypernuclei. It also predicts an increasing size of the nucleon as well as a reduction of the effective mass in the nuclear environment.     

QUARK MODEL

<正>Revised August 2013 by C.Amsler(University of Bern),T.DeGrand(University of Colorado,Boulder),and B.Krusche(University of Basel).15.1.Quantum numbers of the quarks Quantum chromodynamics(QCD)is the theory of the strong interactions.QCD is a quantum field theory and its constituents are a set of fermions,the quarks,and gauge bosons,the gluons.Strongly interacting particles,the hadrons,are bound states of quark and gluon fields.As gluons carry no intrinsic quantum numbers beyond color charge,and because color is believed to be permanently confined,most of the quantum numbers of strongly interacting particles are given by the quantum numbers of their constituent quarks and antiquarks.     

Energy loss effect of incoming gluons from J/ψ production in p-A collisions

The energy loss effect of incoming gluons from J/ψ production in p-A(or d-A) collisions is investigated by means of the E866, RHIC and LHC experimental data. The gluon mean energy loss per unit path length d E/d L = 2.18 ± 0.14 Ge V/fm is extracted by fitting the E866 experimental data for J/ψ production cross section ratios R W(Fe)/Be(x F). The obtained result indicates that the incoming gluons lose more energy than the incident quarks. By comparing the theoretical results with E866, RHIC, and LHC experimental data, it is found that the nuclear suppression due to the incident gluon(quark) energy loss reduces(increases) with the increase of the kinematic variable x F(or y). The energy loss effect of incoming gluons plays an important role in the suppression of J/ψ production in a wide energy range from√s = 38.7 Ge V to√s = 5.0 Te V, and the influence of incident quark energy loss can be ignored for high energies(such as at RHIC and LHC energy).     

Pion properties at finite isospin chemical potential with isospin symmetry breaking

Pion properties at finite temperature, finite isospin and baryon chemical potentials are investigated within the SU(2) NJL model. In the mean field approximation for quarks and random phase approximation fpr mesons, we calculate the pion mass, the decay constant and the phase diagram with different quark masses for the u quark and d quark, related to QCD corrections, for the first time. Our results show an asymmetry between μI 0 and μI 0 in the phase diagram, and different values for the charged pion mass(or decay constant) and neutral pion mass(or decay constant) at finite temperature and finite isospin chemical potential. This is caused by the effect of isospin symmetry breaking, which is from different quark masses.     

Gluon saturation and baryon stopping in the SPS, RHIC, and LHC energy regions

A new geometrical scaling method with a gluon saturation rapidity limit is proposed to study the gluon saturation feature of the central rapidity region of relativistic nuclear collisions. The net-baryon number is essentially transported by valence quarks that probe the saturation regime in the target by multiple scattering. We take advantage of the gluon saturation model with geometric scaling of the rapidity limit to investigate net baryon distributions, nuclear stopping power and gluon saturation features in the SPS and RHIC energy regions. Predictions for net-baryon rapidity distributions, mean rapidity loss and gluon saturation feature in central Pb+Pb collisions at the LHC are made in this paper.     

Manohar-Georgi 模型的QCD分析及核子的一种有效手征夸克模型

Manohar 和Georgi 提出了一种基于QCD的有效组份夸克模型(MG 模型),用于解释唯象夸克模型成功的原因。最近Weinberg 指出,该模型在大Nc (夸克颜色数目) 极限下是可重整化的。从QCD 配分泛函出发,对MG模型的有效理论进行了分析,并通过将胶子-夸克耦合做唯象的Skyrme 作用近似,提出了核子的一种有效手征夸克模型,它包括了夸克和pion 云以及pion 云的非线性自耦合。利用有效手征夸克模型计算的核子静态性质的结果与实验值相符很好。Manohar-Georgi proposed an effective constituent quark model(MG model) based on QCD, explaining the success of quark models. Recently, Weinberg has shown that the MG model is renormalizable in the large Nc limit of the color number. In this paper, we present a functional QCD analysis of the MG model and propose an effective chiral quark model of the nucleons, which includes the nonlinear interaction between quark-pions and pions among themselves byapproximating the quark-gluon coupling with the phenomenological Skyrme interaction. The calculation for the nucleon static properties is in good agreement with experimental data.     

The study of gluon energy loss in cold nuclear matter from J/ψ production

The energy loss effects of the incident quark, gluon, and the color octet ccˉ on J/ψ suppression in p-A collisions are studied by means of the experimental data at E866, RHIC, and LHC energy. We extracted the transport coefficient for gluon energy loss from the E866 experimental data in the middle x F region(0.20 x F 0.65) based on the Salgado-Wiedemann(SW) quenching weights and the recent EPPS16 nuclear parton distribution functions together with nCTEQ15. It was determined that the difference between the values of the transport coefficient for light quark, gluon, and heavy quark in cold nuclear matter is very small. The theoretical results modified by the parton energy loss effects are consistent with the experimental data for E866 and RHIC energy, and the gluon energy loss plays a remarkable role on J/ψ suppression in a broad variable range. Because the corrections of the nuclear parton distribution functions in the J/ψ channel are significant at LHC energy level, the nuclear modification due to the parton energy loss is minimal. It is worth noting that we use the color evaporation model(CEM) at leading order to compute the p-p baseline, and the conclusion in this paper is CEM model dependent.     

夸克-胶子等离子体中的喷注-光子转换机制(英文)

提出了一种夸克 胶子等离子体中的喷注 光子转换机制。 对于热光子而言, 在热夸克 胶子媒介中的喷注 光子转换是一个非常重要的热光子来源。 喷注可以通过次级康普顿散射和湮灭过程来实现喷注 光子转换。 此外, 还考虑了在快光子产生过程中起重要修正作用的胶子 光子贡献, 其中,核遮蔽效应和同位旋效应也被引入到了部分子模型中。We develop a jet photon conversion mechanism in the expanding quark gluon plasma. The jet photon conversion in hot quark gluon medium is a vital source of the thermal photon production. The jet converts into photons via the secondary Compton and annihilation processes in the quark gluon plasma. The gluon photons are also considered in the calculation of prompt photons which includes the effect of the shadowing and isospin of nucleus. We find that the prompt gluon photons are also an important modification to prompt photons.     

夸克和弦模型中非奇异轻介子的类雷吉谱(英文)

本工作重新考察了相对论弦模型和准相对论夸克模型中轻介子的类雷吉谱。基于辅助场技术,提出了非奇异轻介子的一个解析质量公式,由此推导出了一个准线性的Regge-Chew-Frautschi轨迹关系,并将此关系用相应介子的实验数据（PDG）进行了检验。检验结果表明,和实验观测数据比较,夸克模型对介子质量的预言与弦模型的相符,但在角动量较大时,夸克模型的预言稍微优于弦模型。We revisit the Regge-like spectra of light mesons in the relativistic string model and the simirelativistic quark model. An analytical mass formula is proposed for light mesons based on the auxiliary field technique, and a quasi-linear Regge-Chew-Frautschi plot with flavor dependence is derived and verified with the experimental data(PDG) for light mesons.The results show that the quark model predictions for meson masses agree with those of the string model, but are slightly better when the angular momentum is relatively large as compared with the observed data.     

Nucleons in nuclei in the selfconsistent soliton model to QCD

In the scalar Soliton model of QCD the gluon field operators are replaced by a classical selfcoupling scalar field with solitontype interaction. The quark wave-functions and the soliton field are calculated for the free nucleon as compared to a nucleon inside nuclear matter approximated by averaged boundary conditions to simulate the surrounding nucleons. The mass of the nucleon as well as its mean effective radius are given in terms of the nuclear-matter density and the model parameters. For large quark-soliton coupling the EMC-effect is seen, and then at high densities a plasma of free quarks and free localized solitons is the lowest energy solution.

Gluon condensates,chiral symmetry breaking and pion wave-function

We consider here chiral symmetry breaking in quantum chromodynamics arising from gluon condensates in vacuum. Through coherent states of gluons simulating a mean field type of approximation, we show that the off-shell gluon condensates of vacuum generate a mass-like contribution for the quarks, giving rise to chiral symmetry breaking. We next note that spontaneous breaking of global chiral symmetry links the four component quark field operator to the pion wave function. This in turn yields many hadronic properties in the light quark sector in agreement with experiments, leading to the conclusion that low energy hadron properties are primarily driven by the vacuum structure of quantum chromodynamics.     

Ion-induced quark-gluon implosion

We investigate nuclear fragmentation in the central proton-nucleus and nucleus-nucleus collisions at the energies of CERN LHC. Within the semiclassical approximation we argue that because of the fast increase with energy of the cross sections of soft and hard interactions each nucleon is stripped in the average process off "soft" partons and fragments into a collection of leading quarks and gluons with large p(t). Valence quarks and gluons are streaming in the opposite directions when viewed in the c.m. of the produced system. The resulting pattern of the fragmentation of the colliding nuclei leads to an implosion of the quark and gluon constituents of the nuclei. The nonequilibrium state produced at the initial stage in the nucleus fragmentation region is estimated to have densities >/=50 GeV/fm(3) at the LHC energies and probably >/=10 GeV/fm(3) at BNL RHIC.     

Properties of the nucleon in the nuclear medium within a chiral quark-meson theory

The modifications of the nucleon structure due to the presence of an external baryon medium are investigated in a chiral quark meson theory. To that end the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model is combined with the projected chiral soliton model. The medium effects are incorporated using the medium modified values of the pion decay constant and the pion and sigma masses at finite density. These values are evaluated within the NJL model. Using functional integral techniques the latter is solved in a quark continuum at finite density. The effective meson values serve to fix the parameters of the linear chiral sigma model which is solved in a variational projected mean field approach in order to obtain the nucleon properties. All nucleon properties show modifications in the medium except for the pion nucleon coupling constant. The proton radius shows an increase of 19% and the nucleon mass a decrease of 17% if the medium reaches nuclear matter density. The magnetic moments and axial vector coupling constant are less modified. All form factors show remarkable reduction at finite transfer momenta.     

胶子非弹性散射过程对夸克胶子等离子体中双轻子产生的影响

双轻子是研究夸克物质的形成和性质的重要探针.本文基于化学平衡化的黏滞性夸克胶子等离子体演化模型,计算了相对论重离子碰撞能量下金-金对心碰撞形成的夸克胶子等离子体中的双轻子产额.在黏滞性计算中加入了胶子非弹性散射过程对黏滞系数的贡献.相较仅考虑夸克和胶子弹性散射的情况,双轻子的产额有较明显的降低.这表明在黏滞系数中加入胶子非弹性散射的贡献使得系统的演化过程加快,演化时间变短.     

Nonperturbative dynamics in the color-magnetic QCD vacuum

In the deconfinement phase of QCD, quarks and gluons interact with the dense stochastic color-magnetic vacuum. We consider the dynamics of quarks in this deconfinement phase using the field correlators method and derive an effective nonperturbative interquark potential, in addition to the usual perturbative short-range interaction. We find the resulting angular-momentum-dependent interaction to be attractive enough to maintain bound states and, for light quarks (and gluons), to cause emission of quark and gluon pairs. Possible consequences for the strong-interacting quark-gluon plasma are briefly discussed. The text was submitted by the authors in English.
